Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:45:00 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=73215#comment-504463Look, Russell hasn’t helped himself but let’s get real about what the Raiders did for him. In the first place, Al Davis drafted him without signing him before the draft. That resulted in a holdout that didn’t end until AFTER the season had started. You don’t want ANY of your first round picks to miss that kind of time but to allow the FIRST pick and a QB at that, stay on the sidelines that long is STUPID.
Then they hired John DeFilippo, age 29, to be his “mentor” and that didn’t work out and he was eventually let go (Ironically, the Jets hired him last year BUT as an assistant QB coach and let him go after this season). They finally hired a more experienced QB coach but they didn’t help themselves by putting him in charge of him for that long.
Russell’s problems have been more his fault BUT the organization didn’t help him at all. Maybe he finally wakes up and gets his ass in gear because despite what some of you think, he DOES have the talent to be an NFL starter and if he gets into the film room and works on his game, he could be a pretty good player (Of course, it would help if he doesn’t have to throw to DHB and for those of you who don’t believe that’s a handicap, remember, the OTHER QBs didn’t have to deal with him after they took over for Russell. The team phased him out AND Schilens finally came back to give them another reliable receiver).

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:10:18 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=73215#comment-504462why does this site hate the raiders? ok we get it you hate jamarcus but your golden boy “big ben” is a rapist.
And by the way if jamarcus was white you would never say anything about being lazy.
I dont like Russell myself he wont be the the starter, but you can not blame Mr Davis for taking him. Every “draft expert” said he was the best qb in that class. If the pats took him and he turned out to be a bust you wouldnt hear a word about it.
THE BRUCE IS LOOSE THIS YEAR!!!
OAKLAND RAIDERS WILL BE THE NEXT SUPERBOWL CHAMPS. AND ALL YOUR SISTERS AND GIRLFROENDS LIKE BIG BLACK GUYS, ITS A WHITE GIRLS DREAM TO BE WITH A BLACK MAN! AND YOU HATE TO ADMIT IT

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:55:21 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=73215#comment-504459i get a kick out of this….how many people if they win the lotto are not going to get lazy…….especially when you are a kid.
That is why all future nfl players are screwed. The owners want a rookie cap, and every member in the players association will get more if the rookies get less…
the only one surprising enough are the attorney’s who want these kids who have not proved a darn thing in the NFL to be the highest paid players at their positions in the nfl…
maybe if you have to earn the lotto, things would be different for J-Russ and the raiders.

It is getting old!!

In their first full seasons:
JaMarcus Russell, 2008-09: 198-for-368, 2,423 yards, 13 TDs 8 INT.
Mark Sanchez, 2009-10: 196-for-364, 2,444 yards, 12 TDs 20 INT.
Why do people hate on Russell so much and think Sanchez is some stud??
**********************************
Because 1) Sanchez has a winning record as a QB, despite the individual stats, what about JR?
2) When Sanchez was screwing up and throwing picks, he acted like he felt bad about it, what about JR?
3) When Sanchez was screwing up and throwing picks, he was part of the solution for fixing it – he worked hard and dedicated himself to getting better and he did, what about JR?
That’s the difference.

Wait a second. Are you reporting that a reporter reported a rumor as fact and people believed it?
When it comes to the Raiders, that is what your entire website is based on. All you do is post rumor after rumor without ever checking on credibility. Most recently, according to your website, Seymour never wanted to be a Raider (but your website didnt post his comments about wanting to re-sign as a Raider until months later), you havent read the pertinent part of the CBA that allows the NFLPA to file greivances without a players consent, Cable was going to be fired, and Nnamdi was going to be a Jet (even though he said he was joking and just a likely wanted Revis to be a Raiderl; p.s. powder puff doll Cromartie is now a Jet, but apparently PFT never saw that one coming).
Considering PFT’s body of work when it comes to the Raiders, I think you should back off on calling out reporters that jump the gun and make outrageously wrong reports.
Florio, step your game up!
P.S. Richard Seymour says hello.

Al Davis is so dumb its not even funny. Every year 30 teams dream of winning the SB, while the raiders merely hope none of their players murder anyone and the redskins hope they can get a 50% of their returns on all their stupid contracts.

What was the line about “lies, damned lies and statistics”. Sanchez is a leader who had some shakey rookie moments and shows signs he will get better with experience. Russell has never been a leader and after the passable campaign you mention has regressed. I personally blame his coaching because when things have gone wrong he seems to be left to his own devices way too much.

The less he plays the the better the Raiders perform. I would bet that if they benched him the Raiders could have a winning record in 2010.
Disappointment in Russell is not Raider hating. It is pointing out that Russell is unworthy to start for the Raiders.

I too have boycotted the last two seasons as a past season ticket holder. I have not been to any games or bought any gear for the last two years.
I will continue my boycott until Al hires a GM.
